don't know how you pros do it


Recommended Posts

All the ups and downs with poker...earlier tonight I felt like I played almost flawlessly and lost...the last half hour I'm pretty drunk, playing just ok, and winning a good amount. If it bugs me this much as a hobby, I dont know how yall handle it when a month of abnormally cold cards and bad beats means trouble paying the rent...I'm usually very even keeled, but man...In other news, I've decided to leave my job, take the rest of the prerequisite science courses, and apply to veterinary school. How's that for random?

Jobs are overrated.Brett Jungblutt said it best "I can't work for the man."I'm 22, currently unemployed in college and need a job but I have absolutely no desire to get one.
I know the feeling.

Yeah, playing poker sucks.
not saying it sucks...and if i ever get good enough i'll play for a living (though i'm not sure i'll ever be at that level)...just saying that i respect someone who can handle the swings...what kind of name is kurt, anyways?

I used to be running good at 10/20 winning a grand a night.......felt like a superstar, then I found myself trying to let the variance guide me at 4/8 and getting donkeys on my ass time in and time out and felt like I cant win.

i think its just retelling yourself all the time that the swings are normal and you don't deserve to win any particular hand if someone happens to hit a lucky card on you, just pay attention to what you are doing and don't be stubborn gl with vet school and well done for quitting the job if you hate itjust remember to chill while you play pokerif you are getting annoyed just take control of your thinking and dont whine about it and play good pokergo speedz

I myself have had poker open up a job opportunity for me. Using all that ive learned in poker I am about to get into financial planning/daytrading type job which has so many similarities to poker that its crazy

well this is sort of like that, I was in mexico city about 2 years ago when this first came out. we went to the Blavod "itroduction" party, so everyone was carrying around a glass half full of this black vodka, half redbull and grenadine, so half was black and half was red..it looked pretty awesome, especially in a club. and it got you really wasted, which is the important thing.

Nah, jobs are good....I used to think the same thing when I was in college, until I was out on my own and was broke all of the time. There is nothing fun about that whatsoever. It is a nice feeling to have a steady paycheck, affordable health insurance, and benefits. It's really not so bad....
